Where I'm At

I figured that it was about time for an update on the life of me.  Just to let you all know that I haven't drowned in a pool of my own tears, or comfort-eaten myself into a sugar-induced coma.

I guess the one word that best describes me at the moment is 'roller-coasterish'.  I have wonderful days that are full of beautiful things, including remembering our poppy seed in happy ways.  Then there's days when I'm so sad it's deep in my bones and I feel so heavy that I'm afraid I'll fall through the floor.  And then there's days that are a combination of both, tears and smiles, sobs and laughter.  I never know what a day is going to hold, and neither does poor old Andrew.  He definitely has a crazy woman on his hands.

I'm also all over the place in other ways.  This week I have thought about becoming a jeweler, making awesome silver jewelry like Rachel.  Then I decided to become a photographer like Carrie, and when we come back to Newcastle I'll join Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.  And then I decided that I really should study for my law exams.  So I did.  A little.

I finished one exam today, it was ok but I'm really not looking forward to the next three.  Although I am looking forward to them being over, so the added stress is taken away and I can just be.  I can spend all day watching tv.  I can seriously clean the house.  I can buy fruit from the Dappermarkt.  I can deflate, and then re-inflate.  That, I'm looking forward to.
